I think you should consider a career as a professional starcraft 2 player. You'd win a lot of tournaments.
Oh hey, its the guy that is not baiting.
Would have to rewatch the vods, but im not sure if San should have gone up the main. He would have done a ton of damage killing SCVs etc but i think his army would be gone aswell. Hold the counter and he would have won though..
while I agree, his army was still pretty decent compared to Taeja. He could've even just kept ffing the ramp and teched/exp'd w/e to make sure that Taeja is one basing.
Of course, that would have been a lot better. I Just dont think going up the main ramp would be a really good idea. Ff ramp and contain would be the safest option, going up the ramp risking giving his lead away i think

His big mistake in Game 4 was allocating his entire army to killing buildings behind Taeja's natural. He knew from the marine count that Taeja's factory and starport were heavily delayed and he could've simply camped the bottom of the ramp until 4 medivacs were out.

if not for the schedule it might have been BO7. Sad it's over but glad it's not continuing!!
Well, I'm really sad that I had to miss the final day, but it was for a good cause (vendor at Beer Bourbon BBQ Festival in NC!). I'm glad that if Goswser couldn't win, at least it was Taeja.

yes, exactly! Agree 100%. If he has no units, he loses the game so by wasting time on killing depots or w/e(even if he gets supply blocked), you are giving him time to recover. I think Taeja himself was surprised at how he bounced back.

Well, I figure we'll see more of him in the near future. Now if he can work on his PvT like his PvZ, I think he can be an even stronger contender for the next tournament.

San could have also used a few more zealots
hmm was he wrapping constantly throughout the attack? I can't recall if he was once Taeja's cc was floating.

San lost 2 - 3 to Happy. I'm curious why people thought he had a shot against Taeja.
I take it you don't know about the Artosis curse
Oh, please. Artosis cheering for San has nothing to do with it. Taeja was already heavily favored going into the match, San even said it himself in the interview after he beat Hyun. PvT is not his forte.

What's the background on this?
In some GSLs past San got put into a group with MVP and Nestea when they were both considered one of, if not the top players of their respective races.
Going into it, San had also eliminated himself from a previous GSL by pylon blocking his own expansion, so they assumed he was a scrub.
Basically, Artosis said he would swallow a sword if San advanced from the group. To pretty much everybody's surprise, San advanced from his group in first place.

Well, you must be fun at parties.
Yeah hold on, I think I have a pic of me from the last party I attended. + Show Spoiler +
Anyway Artosis should've continued with the reverse psychology that he did to send Hyun home in 3rd place.
San probably could've won game 4 if he hadn't gone and killed those supply depots and let Taeja go down the ramp.
